What about those serrated heads that help prevent a passthrough or the shaft spring collar things?  I'd think the ideal would be to break the back. 

Those heads are designed to help compound shooters keep from getting pass-throughs on turkeys.  With primitive or even traditional gear I don't think that'll be an issue unless you draw heavy weight.  I shot one at 15 yards with a 50# bear recurve sporting a 4-blade Zwickey.  I got about 6" of penetration, broke one thigh bone.  Shoot your deer broadhead setup at turkeys and you'll be fine.
